White Marans chick or Blue Splash?

[Sphynxlover]

I got an Hatchery pick Marans chick. The possibles listed were all the normal Marans variety. However my chick looks like she could be white or blue splash. When she is next to my lavender Orpington they look like a similar color. All the white Maran chick photos I’ve seen seem to have a bluish hue and not just plain yellow like most white/buff chickens. So that’s why I am curious. Anyone know what she is?

Does she have a single comb?

Looks very like my Blue Splash Marans. Definitely not white. Is she from Meyer Hatchery?

She is from My Pet Chicken so yes she should be from Meyers. Do you have a photo of yours?

In that case, I'd guess Blue Splash in a heartbeat.
The only picture I could find was under the red lamp, so unfortunately, you can't see her too well. She's in the front - you can probably tell there's a blue cast around the facial area.

Yes! Also the wing feathers coming in. Little cutie!

Here’s my Blue Splash when she was a babe. Also from my pet chicken.

I got confirmation from the hatchery. You were correct she is a blue splash!
